Hardin County Sheriff Ed Cain confirmed Tuesday that one person was killed in a structure fire that broke out shortly before 11 a.m.

The deceased is identified as Jack Hanks, 86, who died in a home at 18456 Gusher Road in Saratoga, Cain said.

The Saratoga and Batson volunteer fire departments, along with the sheriff's office, responded to the call. No other injuries were reported, the sheriff said.

Cain said the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but it looks like it began in the kitchen. Hanks' body was found near the front door of the home possibly because he was trying to escape the fire, Cain said.

An autopsy has been ordered but officials don't think the fire was suspicious at this time.
